Drainage around new hardscape

Why people call about this.
Standing water after rain
Low spots that stay soggy for days kill grass and breed mosquitoes.
Water against the foundation
On expansive clay, water pooling at the slab is a foundation problem waiting to happen.
Washouts and erosion
Beds and mulch washing across the yard, or soil cutting away under a patio.
TROY, TX
Yard Drainage & French Drains in Troy: what’s different here.
Troy is a small, fast-growing town on I-35 between Temple and Waco, with about 2,400 people at the 2020 census and new subdivisions pushing that number up quickly since. It began in 1882 as a railroad stop, and today it mixes an older town center with new builder neighborhoods and rural lots around the edges. Permits inside town go through the City of Troy, new subdivisions may have HOA rules, rural lots outside the city limits fall under Bell County, and every dig starts with a Texas811 locate.
Pavers & Hardscape in Troy
Pavers on a proper base flex with Troy’s shifting clay better than a large single slab, and they can be reset if the ground moves.
The ground
Troy sits on the same dark Blackland Prairie clay common around Temple, which drains slowly and shrinks and swells with the weather, so base prep and drainage matter for anything built on it.
Homes and lots
A small older town core, new-construction neighborhoods such as The Village at Elm Creek and Turtle Creek, established subdivisions like River Oaks, and country lots outside town.
